Fly Line for Strip Casting
There is considerable leeway in the matter of the sort of line to use. Strip-casting bears a closer analogy to bait-casting than to fly-casting in that the line is caused to shoot out through the guides by the swing of the rod and principally by the weight of the bait in use. It differs from fly-casting in that the weight of the bait, rather than of the line and the swing of the rod, is the chief factor in getting out the line. It naturally follows that a line having weight is not absolutely necessary as for fly-casting.
On the whole the best line to use is a rather small caliber enameled fly-casting line, say size G or F. This will render freely and smoothly through the rod guides and is much more durable and less liable to foul by wrapping around the rod than an unwater proofed bait casting line. For average bass fishing twenty-five yards of good quality size F enameled line used on a one hundred-yard single-action reel will best answer the reel and line requirements for strip-casting.
